GPAI Steering Committee
The Steering Committee is an elected body comprised of five government members from the Council and six non-government representatives from the GPAI Multistakeholder Experts Group Plenary. It implements the direction of the Council, including development of the work plan and establishment of Working Groups, and provides substantive guidance and direction to the GPAI Secretariat and Centres of Expertise, as needed.
